The Wakhan Corridor (Pashto: واخان دهلېز, romanized: wāxān dahléz, Urdu: واخان راہداری Persian: دالان واخان, romanized: dâlân vâxân) is a narrow strip of territory in Afghanistan, extending to China and separating Tajikistan from Pakistan.[1][2][3][4] From this high mountain valley the Panj and Pamir rivers emerge and form the Amu Darya. A trade route through the valley has been used by travellers going to and from East, South and Central Asia since antiquity.[5]

The corridor was formed by an 1893 agreement between the British Empire (British India) and Afghanistan, creating the Durand Line.[6] This narrow strip acted as a buffer zone between the Russian Empire and the British Empire (the regions of Russian Turkestan, now in Tajikistan, and the part of British India now in Pakistan and the contested region of Gilgit-Baltistan). Its eastern end bordered China’s Xinjiang region, then ruled by the Qing dynasty.

Politically, the corridor is in the Wakhan District of Afghanistan’s Badakhshan Province. As of 2010, the Wakhan Corridor had 12,000 inhabitants.[7] The northern part of the Wakhan, populated by the Wakhi and Pamiri peoples, is also referred to as the Pamir
